about

We all wish we could change the past. ‘Bloodlines’ is a slow-burning tale of reckoning. The gut-punch realization and helpless submission to the truths that we are who we are and our kin is, forever, our kin.

lyrics

Drunk all my sorrows
Turn worry to smoke
Born into bad luck, baptized in broke
Black lungs, coal mines
Stoled pills to cheap wine
Souls are shot from the running
Caged like a coyote
In a cold 12 x 10
Carved in the concrete
By my daddy’s hand
His two initials
To make it official
I’m going down by the way I was raised
Levee done broke again
River don’t give a damn
Cut veins, floodplains
Drown in the old shame
Fly till you fall
It’s there on the wall
The water flows one way
Your Last name, you can’t change
The bloodlines
I ain’t the answer
to nobody’s prayers
I’ve said my own
Don’t nobody care
Fight off the demons
But damn if I don’t need em
To keep this old hand me down heart beating
Chorus
Keep on dreaming
You gotta read between ‘em
The bloodlines
Chorus
